Got the car booked back in bodyshop to get the crease taken out the bonnet :angry: at the same time they are spraying a new front bumper I have taken down there and a small dent in at the bottom of the passenger door.
Waiting on new number plates to come before fitting the new tailgate.
The plates at the min are the pressed metal ones and have screw holes in them and they are a bit bent so just going for normal plastic ones.

Had a day on the car today, tryed to change the oil but failed. Couldn't get the sump plug off :angry: low cars are good but can be pain in the arse to work on, going to have to take down garage and get it on the ramps.

On the plus side number plates turned up. Got the boot all built up.






Got the old boot off and the new one on but still got the number plate lights to wire up, ran out of daylight.
Also still got the rear spoiler to put on.


Old one


Bootless




Will get some pics of the new one on the car tomorrow.

Had a mess about with the centre counsel today. Well pleased with the end result :smiley:

After taking it out the car and giving it a bath :wink:



After a bit of cutting




Had to find a new place for the window switches, not seen them there before think they look ok.




Cut out a temp plate out before starting on the real thing.



Also fitted a new cigarette lighter to the side. Think it looks good just need them wiring in now.
